Notes
Custom labels in Salesforce are a feature that allows you to define and manage text values that can be used throughout your Salesforce organization. These labels can be used to replace hardcoded text values in your Salesforce applications, making them more flexible and customizable.
Custom labels can be defined in the Salesforce setup area, and are stored in a separate section of the application's metadata. Once defined, these labels can be used in any part of your Salesforce organization, including Visualforce pages, Apex classes, and email templates.
One of the key benefits of using custom labels is that they can be easily translated into other languages. This means that if you have a multi-lingual user base, you can define different versions of your custom labels for each language, allowing your applications to be displayed in the appropriate language based on the user's preferences.
Another benefit of custom labels is that they can be updated centrally, without the need to modify individual code files. This can be particularly useful in large organizations, where updating text values in multiple applications can be time-consuming and error-prone.
In summary, custom labels in Salesforce are a powerful tool that can help you make your applications more flexible and customizable, while also simplifying the process of updating and translating text values across your organization.
